Angle sensors

Angle sensors

We offer a family of angle sensors based on integrated Magneto Resistive (ixMR)


technologies. The sensors detect the orientation of an applied magnetic field
by measuring sine and cosine angle components with monolithically integrated
magneto resistive elements. ixMR technology is now widely used in automotive
and industrial applications and provides a wide range of benefits.

Low sensitivity to air gap variations: The ixMR element senses a field’s direction,
not its intensity. Variations in field intensity within the sensor’s range therefore
have a minimal impact on angle accuracy.

Improved tolerance to misalignment: The area sensitive to ixMR is very small. It


is therefore easier to keep it within the homogeneous zone of the magnetic field,
in case of a small mechanical failure.

High speed: ixMR technology is extremely fast. Its speed is not limited by the
reaction time of the MR element but by delays in the amplifier circuit.

High degree of integration: The data processing and communication interfaces are integrated in the same sili-
con chip as the sensing elements. This enables compact designs using small outline packages. The angle sensors
are available with a wide variety of communication interfaces as well as different levels of data processing and
self-testing capabilities, making them ideal for safety-relevant applications in the automotive sector.

Current automotive restraint systems use Infineon’s side airbag pressure sensors to fulfill the
steadily increasing safety requirements for passenger cars. In this safety-critical application, the
pressure sensor is assembled within the car’s side doors and provides – within fractions of
a second – a digital crash signal to the central airbag unit. Self-diagnosis routines reliable proper
operation every time.

As the safety standards for passenger vehicles increases beyond the side airbag for inmates to
secure the safety of pedestrians, Infineon’s new sensors (KP200 and KP201 for higher operating
temperature) allow our customers to get the highest 5 stars evaluation for vehicle safety.

Online simulation tools

Sensing
the world

Our simulation tools will guide you in identifying the most suitable Infineon sensor IC combined with the best-fit magnet

The magnetic design tool for 3D magnetic sensors


››Covers some typical applications which can be addressed with 3D magnetic sensors:
––Angle measurement (rotational movement of the magnet)
––Linear position measurement (linear movement of the magnet)
––Joystick (3D movement of the magnet)
››The tool provides pre-defined or user-customized magnets for each of the three applications
››The tool automatically calculates the three magnetic field components at the sensor location.
Calculation is based on the sensor arrangement defined by the user.
››Direct link to the 3D magnetic sensors simulation tool:

The simulation tool for Hall switches


››A highly efficient and easy-to-use way of simulating Hall switch applications
››This results in an accurate simulation of the magnetic field and the switching behavior of the Hall switch
in the application
››Position detection with Hall switches can be optimized on magnet parameters, magnet-to-sensor distance
and Hall switch parameters
››Capable of downloading the simulation results, simulation parameters and datasheets
››Direct link to the Hall switches simulation tool: https://infineon.transim.com/Halldesk/pages/appfinder.aspx

The magnetic design tool for angle sensors


››Designed to support xMR-based angular sensors and diametrically magnetized disk magnets
››Calculates the valid distance from the magnet surface to the sensor and the assembly error, given
certain parameters:
––Magnetic properties
––Sensor specification
––Assembly tolerances
››Direct link to the angle sensors simulation tool: http://sensors.your-infineon.com/index.html
